If you don't find anything bad in the A-Line like some have suggested, check out the fuse in the control head. As you pull the head I remember one in the top left corner as you look at the component side of the head. They are miniature and can be easily checked. I just can't remember if there is a second. But you should be able to tell.
Good Luck. JIM KA2AJH From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen M.

I wired up the power connector in reverse with no fuse in the line. Needless to say, the radio won't even power on now. Anyone have any idea just how extensive the damage might be? Possible for a Motorola-neophyte to repair himself? I have only basic component-level troubleshooting skills and no service manual. Any advice appreciated. _______________________________________ Stephen, WR9A - Lafayette, Indiana Email: shortwave (AT) verizon -DOT- net _______________________________________
